Illinois abortionist wants woman suing him for botched abortion to be named publicly

An abortionist accused of puncturing a woman’s uterus and leaving half of her 22-week-old preborn baby in her body is now calling for the woman’s name to be publicly exposed.

Key Takeaways:

• In April 2023, Dr. Keith Reisinger-Kindle committed a second trimester D&E (dismemberment) abortion on a 22-weeks pregnant mother.

• After she called to complain of cramping and pressure, she was told to take Tylenol and a laxative.

• She went to the ER where it was discovered that half of her preborn baby was inside her; pieces of her baby’s skull were adhered to her intestines, and her uterus had been perforated.

• The woman filed a lawsuit against Reisinger-Kindle, and she remains unnamed in the suit. He is calling for her name to be publicly revealed.

The Details:

Earlier this year, a 32-year-old woman and mother of four born children, filed a lawsuit against Dr. Keith Reisinger-Kindle, an abortionist who founded Equity Clinic to train “the next generation of abortion providers.”

The lawsuit alleges that Reisinger-Kindle noted that all of the body parts were removed from the woman’s body during a second trimester D&E abortion on April 1-2, 2023, but based on the findings of hospital doctors, there was no way this was true. The woman ultimately needed surgery, during which time doctors discovered half of her preborn child’s body still inside of her. See what a D&E involves in the video below:

The lawsuit accuses Reisinger-Kindle of causing a perforation of the uterus, failing to recognize that a perforation of the uterus had occurred, failing to adequately examine the fetal parts obtained during the abortion, failing to provide adequate post-abortion care, and acting careless and negligent.

He was reprimanded and fined $5,000 by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The lawsuit is ongoing, and Reisinger-Kindle wants the woman to be publicly named despite the trauma she has endured.

“When a plaintiff seeks to publicly challenge reproductive healthcare providers in court — especially in a matter of statewide media interest — transparency in the proceedings is paramount. Having already leveraged multiple high-profile media outlets to elevate her narrative and target named providers, Plaintiff should not now be permitted to evade the transparency and accountability that open litigation requires,” his motion states.

Such a request, if granted, could cause the victim to abandon her lawsuit if she wishes to maintain her anonymity.

The Backstory:

Warning: The following contains graphic information and imagery.

According to Reisinger-Kindle’s report, “products of conception were visibly inspected and confirmed to be complete,” meaning all of the baby’s body parts were accounted for outside of the womb and the woman’s uterus was empty following the abortion.

However, she had ongoing cramping. When she called the facility again, she was reportedly told to take Tylenol.

She called again a few hours later to say that “her bottom has a lot of pressure and it is hard to breathe,” and she alleges that Reisinger-Kindle told her to take a laxative.

On April 4, she called again, saying she had taken the laxative, but abdominal cramping had increased. This time, she was allegedly told to take an enema and go to an urgent care or ER.

Later that day, she went to the ER at Community Hospital South, where doctors found parts of her baby in her pelvis, including pieces of skull adhered to her intestines. Her uterus had been perforated; doctors discovered a quarter-sized hole in it.

An expert witness for the case, an OB-GYN with 30 years of experience with first and second trimester abortions, stated:

The patient was found to have half of a deceased pre-born human being in the right pelvis of the patient with evidence of severe and intentional trauma. The baby’s body was transected at the pelvis with no legs or feet present. Stumps of both femurs extended from the soft tissue of the torso. The upper extremities were missing from elbow distally on both sides. The skull was crushed and no brain was present. The face was non-recognizable … there were small bony fragments in the mother’s pelvis.

The lawsuit noted that no digoxin (a feticide often used in later abortion procedures) was used to stop the baby’s heart before he or she was dismembered.

It is a stark reminder of the violence and brutality of abortion and brings to mind images of the DC Five — the five nearly full term babies who whose bodies were discovered in a medical waste box outside a Washington, D.C., abortion business in 2022.

Prior to founding Equity Clinic and serving as the main abortionist on staff, Reisinger-Kindle is reported to have worked at the scandal-ridden Women’s Med Center in Dayton, Ohio, with Martin Haskell, the abortionist who pioneered the gruesome D&X (“partial-birth”) abortion procedure.
